Is it possible to press the Inbox button from Windows Live Messenger 2011 and start Outlook instead of Windows Live Mail?

Outlook 2010 is my default e-mail software, but it still starts Windows Live Mail.

I looked at the registry pretty deeply, and the Live Messenger settings myself, and could not find a thing, so I checked the Internet. This seems to be a very common request (to open Outlook, or even gmail in a web browser), but I found more than one Microsoft MVP (so they tend to be pretty good with MS products), who confirmed what I thought: You can't do it. Sorry.

Thanks for the search. I did some searching as well and couldn't find it either. I think I'll switch back to live mail then *sigh*. If it were just a bit faster with startup, everything would be fine, but ok. Thanks anyway. – Marnix Jun 25 '11 at 18:38
